Architecture in Sweden

Why do the buildings around us look like they do? Architecture is a reflection of community spirit, ideologies, power and visions of the future. The permanent exhibition entitled Architecture in Sweden provides an illustration of construction in Sweden over the past millennium. You can book a guided tour of the exhibition all year round.
